this is beautiful Margaret ..
I don't think it was a mistake at all .. I love the different views you show us of your world ..
this photo .. there's so much going on .. the carpet of flowers in the foreground .. I can imagine lying on that carpet looking up at the sky ..
the middle distance .. the green grass and those trees.. like an invitation ..
then the mountains in the clouds ..
this whole scene seems almost magical ..
I'm glad you entered this instead of flowers .. this is unique and stunning .. and unforgettable .. what a fantastic place to live .. :)

and scoring high in a dpc challenge doesn't always mean the photo was amazing and wonderful .. and vice versa ..
case in point this photo ..

Bigger Inside Than Outside?

i looked forever to find a good camera bag that wasnt too heavy and was relatively small ..
but when i came on the high sierra backpack i found it the best one out of many i'd tried .. i have been using one now as a handbag for several years .. it fits my canon 5D series in it with batteries etc .. and a small lens ..
but putting the external flash in too was a bit to much .

when i got into the olympus mirrorless .. the size of that camera was a godsend .. i could fit the camera, and an extra lens or even two .. depending on the size ... and the external flash .. all in my 'handbag' ..

if i was doing a paid gig i'd use other camera bags .. but day to day .. i like to travel as light as possible ... so the olympus was wonderful .. might sacrifice a bit of quality from the full frame ...

i just went to see if the one i use is still available .. and like i said .. i've been using one for several years .. at least 10 or 12 or even more .. and they are still available .. was such a good design i'm not surprised ..
check it out ..

did the gorilla pod hold onto the cane ...
i got a gorilla pod ages ago and it wasnt strong enough to hold the canon 5D series .. especially with an external flash .. altho i was only trying it on the ground .. but the legs collapsed under the weight of the camera ..
